Reeling. Is what re-minisce is, from the onslaught of the new posting.
Five alternate day calls in a row, ten calls in a month. An intensive care unit run solely by non-intensivists who pride themselves on being Jack of All Trades.

Things could be worse. On the bright side, I get to tell people I break hearts for a living. (don't tell anyone that they were fixed before I broke them...) It's a step up from what Ken was introducing me as. Laugh.

Day Zero did not go down too well though.

Two calls and three nights later, I'm about as flat as, and perhaps even thirstier than the Sahara.

Drinks with the Lady Grey in an hour; I can barely wait... =)
